I know that this has been asked already over time, but after visiting a DZ outside of Austria last weekend, we came to realise, that the rules had changed over the winter and we spent quite some time arguing over rules before being able to jump So to spare travelling European/International jumpers unnecessary hassles - not having the right papers with you wont get you in the plane in some places. I am asking you to help me put together this comprehensive list for jumpers worldwide. Thanks for your input and effort!

1) Third party insurance (what kind of insurance papers do you have to have): 2) Licence (Valid through/expiry date? Indefintly valid?): 3) Ownership (do you have to carry some kind of “statement of ownership”? If yes: please explain) 4) Reserve (Described on packing card or extra paper? Serial or no serial? Lead-Seal required etc): 4 a) Repack cycles in your country? Do you accept other countries rules?: 5) AAD (Described on packing card? Serial or no serial needed? Maintainance cycle on packing card or extra paper?: 6) Main (Described on packing card? Serial or no serial needed?): 7) Gear/Container (Described on packing card?
